Female (homosexual)

Sorry about that previous page. Anyway, your name is Tara Reinber. Twenty years old, college student. Your roommate is named Naomi Nakamura. Now that the introductions are done, let's get to the actual story...

"Taerius, you seem disturbed," Xiq said softly. "Is there something amiss?"

Taerius focused on one of his clawed fingers, making it glow a pale orange. He touched the wall with his glowing claw to stop the lava flow before turning back to Xiq. "The same as the last time you asked. I cannot stop thinking about the humans."

Xiq audibly snorted in contempt. "I will never understand your fascination with humans. They represent all the worst traits a being can possess. Idiotic. Self-centered. Perverted. Malicious. Pathetic."

A gleam appeared in Taerius's metallic eye. "I would wager that humans are far greater than you give them credit for."

Xiq was skeptical, but if she had one fatal flaw, she would admit it was her inability to resist a challenge. "Very well. Convince me, however you see fit."

~+~

You enter your dorm's bathroom, where a tall figure is perched in front of the sink. "Afternoon."

You start to scream, but the being clasps a hand over your mouth and uses the other hand to "Shhh" you. Although he is basically shaped like a person, his skin is rough and gravelly, his eyes are silver, and he is looking at you with a sharp-toothed grin that stretches wider than his face.

He removes his clawed hand from your face, hesitating a little to make sure you don't try to scream again.

"W-who are you?"

"Name's Taerius, and I'm a demon. Nice to meet'cha. How 'bout you? What's your name?"

You pause before answering. "Tara... Tara Reinber." You swallow. "What... what are you... why..."

"Well, Tara-Tara Reinber, I'm here to make a deal with you. How would you like supernatural powers?"

"Y-you mean li-like selling my soul? I'm sorry, I don't-"

"Relax, relax. I won't take your soul. Not as payment for the powers at least." Taerius extends his grin even further. "Here's the deal. I give you powers of the supernatural persuasion. You'll only have one power at a time, but every seventy-two hours it changes. Now here's the catch, because of course there's a catch." He claps his hands together. "You keep each power for three Earth days. During that time, you must use whatever power you have in a perverted way."

You recoil in surprise. "What-"

"Question time! What is your age, sex, and sexual orientation?"

"Erm... twenty... female... lesbian. What do you mean, per-"

"Please save all questions until the end of the tour," Taerius interrupts. "So, you're into other women. So they'll be your targets, women around your age... Let's say seventeen to twenty-six years old. Every power you get, you have three days to use pervertedly. Focusing on the chests, rears, and obviously genitals of your targets, you must use your powers to freely see, touch, or taste any of these body parts or the undergarments that cover them in such a way that it could not be accomplished without the use of your powers. Alternatively, you can get your target women to touch you in a decidedly sensual way. If you choose any of the 'see' options, you also need to get a photograph. No matter which option you go with, you must do it without getting caught."

Taerius pauses to let you respond, but at this point you're still too stunned to speak.

"Anyway," he continues. "If you accept the deal, but fail at any of these things - if you go the full three days without using your powers pervertedly or if you get caught - I get your soul. So what do you say?"

You think for a minute that feels like an hour. "If I accept the deal... Can I use the powers even in un-perverted ways?"

"Yes. As long as you don't get caught, and you use them pervertedly at least once each, you're free to use them however you like."

"And... what sort of powers are they exactly?"

"Could be anything." Taerius waves his hand in circles. "Could get superhuman speed, could get shapeshifting, could get the power to heal people, or raise the dead, or turn invisible, or you could fly. It will be random, though, so there's no way of telling which one you'll get at any given time."

That erases the last of your doubt. Though you've never spoken it out loud, there is one superpower you have desperately wanted for years. If this is your opportunity... If all you need to do is accept, play along with Taerius until you get the power you need... It's definitely worth the risk.

You take a deep breath. "I accept."

Taerius grins knowingly. "Excellent, Tara. Anyway, it's dangerous to go alone. Take this." He snaps his fingers, and a thick book with a small key on top appear in a burst of smoke. "Basically, you use the key to open the book. At any point in time, the book will describe exactly what power you have. Try it out. Antío!"

The demon vanishes, leaving you alone. You take the key and touch it to the book. In an instant, the book swings open to a page in the middle.
